Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b
When an offspring is produced by a single parent without the involvement of gamete formation, the reproduction is called asexual reproduction. As a result, the offspring produced are not only similar to one another but are also exact copies of their parent. Such a group of morphologically and genetically similar individuals are called clones.
